Oh, yeah - this post reminded me - after Bailey caught on to the bell - I put a bell in our upstairs master bedroom and kept the door closed (part of our potty training process - kept her supervised). Not long afterwards, I picked up the bell (didn't like running down stairs for fake rings) - so then...Bailey started ringing the brass door stop spring. boooinnnggg. It was soooooooo cute!!! Yes, they are too darn smart!
